Hi Christine yes I am Seeing the C.a.b Tommororw who are helping me fill in the formsto Appeal to get my E.s.a Back , So fingers crossed x

HI HAVE NOT DARE APPLY FOR ANY SEEMS REALLY HARD TO GET MAY HAVE CHAT WITH MY GP IN MORNOING ABOUT IT THOUGH WILL LET YA KNOW HOW IT GOES LOVE DIDDLE X

I get lower rate DLA and SDA , DLA is up for review this year though and SDA next year so will probably end up with none .

I filled the DLA forms in but after reading what a lot of you said on here, I didn't bother sending it off cos I'm nowhere near as bad as you.

God knows how they expect you to manage Sue.

Hi Sue

I'm a single parent of two kids and it is only through them that I am surviving....even the mother of my grandson helps with my daughter!

I was refused DLA and currently awaiting a date for the tribunal....I kind of know I won't get it but I'm really struggling to cope as I feel bad for the kids doing so much...never thought I'd be in this position! I've worked since the age of 15/16 and it is so hard coping on benefits...I'm in severe debt but it seems the fact that I need help and cannot pay for it doesn't matter. Adult Social Care have practically told me I have no issues....so to me I stand no chance!!...Got to remain positive though...

I think that's disgusting T . When we're in pain and feeling ill and yet they say there is nothing wrong with us.

I hope your tribunal goes well and you get the outcome you deserve.

Hugs
